i did ask jackie (joe o's secretary) this question and to point out exactly where on the case it was compromised and she informed me that joe would only talk to the authorities or someone at one of my financial institutions in regards to getting my refund. she said he would not discuss the holder being comprised at all.
i wasn't inquiring to go on a witch hunt, rather looking to ascertain some knowledge on what exactly i should be looking for on these technologically advanced fakes so that i can know what to look for moving forward.
previous versions were fish in a barrel. with overlabels and flashlight tests, conflicting barcode scans vs. cert numbers, frosting here, cracking there, cloudy adhesive everywhere, etc.
this round of fakes were not. im still impressed.
